Seeing as I don't care diddly squat about T4/AWD, it's really just a compact sedan with a stupid front bumper and wing. SU-ssudio.

 

[Tornado]

The III was always my favorite besides the V, but here people would just assume you riced the ever loving hell out of a Mirage.

 

[TB]

Cool. A very low one, but cool.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Arguably the best Evo below the 6.

Cool.

 

[Adamgp]

It's a Lancer with a ginormous wing and some go fast stuff.

SU.

 

[Neddo]

For some reason, this is not pretty to me. Meh

 

[FerrariF1GT]

Well, it doesn't have the gold wheels like the WRXs do, and that saves it from the inevitable.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Cool, very cool.

Don't forget to press F to pay respects on the way out, RIP Lancer Evo.

 

[Cowboy]

The first two Evo generations get a solid cool from me, but the Evo III looks kinda tacky in my opinion.

Still cool enough for a meh.

 

[Sage Ages]

Mitsubishi Mirage with a body kit.


Uncool.

 

[Obelisk]

Saw an X today. I think it looked better than this one.

Uncool.

 

[cjr3559]

More desirable than a Galant. Gets a moderate cool.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Best Evo style. S-Z.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Low Cool. Not the best Evolution. IV to IX are better ones.

 

[Wiegert]

Bridged the gap between slightly kitted-out 4th gen Lancer and full-Evo. As much as I love the hideously uncool 5th gens, this still came out relatively unscathed.

Evo-ness aside, anything that's a single degree of separation from a Proton Wira doesn't stand a chance of being cool.

 

[Liquid]

Second favourite Evo to the IV.

 

[TheCracker]

A clean, unmodified example might just scrape a low cool.

 

[Razor440]

Low cool. Not the best Evolution, but still a cool car.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

It's a close thing, but I don't think it's quite old enough to warrant a cool yet. Uncool it is.

 

[mustafur]

Lacks the wide wheel arches to give it presence like the Evo 5 and 6 have(the 4 gets away with it though because the front is probably the most Aggressive of all the Evos), and ends up looking tacky because of it, this looks like an actual evolution of the Lancer where as the 3 doesn't really do it for me(evo 5 shown)

Uncool

 

[All Your Base]

Rally legend. Was once featured in a Jackie Chan film. Third favorite Evo behind the II and IV. Sub-Zero.

 

[Vegard]

In my part of the world the Lancer is a car typically driven by 75+ year olds.
Putting a body kit, a big rear wing and bonnet scoops on it makes it a seriously uncool proposition.



I like Group A homologation cars though.

 

[Winters Noble]

It's okay. Doesn't warrant my attention like the V does though.

 

[edawg456]

It's not s Subie. Which means instant subzero.

 

[epic_apri_39]

SZ. I don't think I need to explain.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Uncool, because a regular person will just see a "riced out" mirage.

 

[Ettick]

SZ. My favorite Evo of all time.

 

[Formidable]

One of the better looking generations of the Evo. Cool.
